I Have Not Heard Of This

I have not heard of this
I have not been this
I will not ever become this

 

I know not what this is.

So Many Commitments Lost

June 24, 2013

So many commitments lost
So many not fulfilled
Looking at myself
In disgust
For not being where I should.

So many changes
Were not mine.

Life goes on but in the meantime
Let me be the person
I should and want to be
Not losing anything that is dear
And right now lost to me.

I Said To My Dog

I said to my dog
“You are the Best person I know.”

She replied
“But I am a dog?” 

I said back to her
“You are the Best person I know.”

A Doormat I Will No Longer Be

June 18, 2013

A doormat I will no longer be
Steeped in anger where
Frustration does abound
This is the time to stand
Stand my ground.

Let no one push
Push me around
No need to fight bicker or respite
Just nicely say
No, this is not the way.

I won’t be intimidated anymore
Today or any other day
A doormat no longer will I be
This is the stand that’s going to see
The nice and happy no doormat me.

The sun is shining
The grass is green
Let’s go see
What should have been.

This Is It

This is it
This is as good as it gets.

I’m here to tell you
That for all of us
It is as good as
We want it to be

Nothing changes
Unless you want it

Garner from
Your loss and the bad
A magnificence
Unsurpassed

Yes you can do what
No one else ever has

Journey to your centre
Find the place
You really are
From there go out
And spread your glory

Near
And there so far.

This Is A Beginning

This is a beginning
And a end
This is when we wonder
Where oh where
Have we been?

Seeing thru
The mist of opportunity
Both those exciting
And ones we may
Have missed.

This is a beginning
Don’t miss the opportunity
Make sure you enjoy it
All the way to
A happy the end.
~ Patrice

Did You See What I Saw?

June 6, 2013

Did you see what I saw?
Will you do what I did?
Can you go where I have gone?

My travels and travails are mine
Yours are yours and have begun
So you begone.
